On her Facebook wall, Kerri Thoreson writes about the event last night: "About 4:30 p.m. I was pretty much settled in for the night but then remembered I'd promised my friend A-Train I'd come watch him play in the Special Needs Recreation Basketball Extravaganza at NIC at 5:30 p.m. So off I went, out in the rain and without joy in my heart. But let me tell you a couple of hours cheering for Anthony and his fellow players did the soul good. When the teams came out on the court through the smoke to the cheers of the crowd I got choked up. Their absolute joy and sense of accomplishment and sportsmanship was a true blessing to witness. Stop and smell the roses friends. So glad I did tonight."

Question: Do you have a close contact with a special needs child?
